Babylon the great (2,000 years of Mesopotamian history explained in ten minutes) 

Epimetheus is Babylon what would become Ctessiphon?

Ctesiphon is located very close to the site of Babylon but it is on the opposite banks of the Tigris river (a little north) instead of Euphrates....I would not be surprised if they used the ruins of Babylon to build parts of Ctesiphon because it is very close...so in a way, I would say it is very likely parts of Babylon became Ctesiphon... also Seleucia probably quarried materials from Babylon as well

You're*

Epimetheus hey please put timeline at the bottom all throughout the video. It gives better idea to retain

Why did you not include the 12 tribes of Israel, the judges period territory and of the kingdom, on the map? It was a massive event BIGGER than the Hyksos overthrowing egyptian rule, and don't say it is fake because there is mountains of evidence that it happened, examples: The existence of a statue of Joseph in Egypt, his tomb is empty conforming what is written in Exodus that they carried his remains to the promised land, the hole in egyptian history at the rule of Thutmoses the third, the man that was initially friend with Moses and was pharaoh at the time of the 10 plagues because he did not free the Hebrew people, the massive displacement of former people inhabiting the territory between the jordan river, example: the siege of Jericho, massive fights between the hebrews and amalekites with the sun stopping for 1 day, meteors from the sky, there is massive archeological evidence for this, for example the city of David, the royal sigils and golden bells from the archpriests of the temple, the temple of Jerusalem remains, the existence of Midianite and Ishmaelites living on the same place Moses was at refuge at Jethro's camp, etc, the evidence is gigantic and can not be ignored.

Politically taboo to do so.

they cant teach too much Bbaylonian or Mesopotamian history or culture , because it will reveal the truth that Jews took most of their stories and myths from Mesopotamia , same did Christians and Muslims who took alot of their religious stories from the Jews .

Persian history as well is largely a mystery. The West today glorify Greek and Rome as their cultural, intellectual ancestors and downplay most of the middle-eastern empires like the Persian, Mesopotamian, Islamic, Turkic empires who were their ancient rivals.

@@hassanbassim4007 Wasn't Abraham from the city Ur? The Abrahamic religions are mostly about monotheism and prophets, were their similar stories in Mesopotamia?

@@devvv4616 Abraham wasn't really a monotheist his god El was apart of the semetic pantheon (look up Phoenecian gods, his descendants and followers took up his practice and over time it became monotheism.

@Sam Lemont Not long ago I was in the "Old Museum" in Berlin were the giant Ishtar Gate of Babylon is recreated. Walking through it really is awe inspiring.

You can come to iraq & see it your self

great Iraq

They didn’t have plumbing and modern sanitation, so maybe not that beautiful. (I’m joking)

The golden age signified babylon's reign. The silver age - the Medes and the Persians, the bronze age - Greece, the iron age: the Romans. The mixed clay and iron- military and religious Rome (could not mix), and finally the metaphorical striking stone- the end of the world where all the kingdoms are forgotten.

The metaphorical stone hasnt come yet

Mia Sirena2 the feet religious-political Rome. The clay is Protestant Churches

@@draviddecoteau no the feet represents rome and the 10 toes represent different nations

🤣🤣🤣🤣😆 I love this definition!

I can say there is a great chance you'll see a video or two on Assyria in the coming months on my Channel :)

@Epimetheus, thanks from France!

Unfortunately you are right about the identity part

Ddaoud2 modern Assyrians are actually an amalgamation of all the Mesopotamian peoples (sumerians, akkadians, Babylonians AND Assyrians)

where is the Babylonian people? No Babylonians in Babylon city now?they just vanished and replaced? where is the Mesopotamian people? all iraqi people are migrant and foreigners except the christian population!!? it doesn't make sense to me. I GUESS ASSYRIANS ARE THE ONLY PPL IN IRAQ KEPT THE ANCIENT IDENTITY.. BUT NOT THE ONLY PEOPLE MESOPOTAMIAN PEOPLE WHO HAVE SURVIVED.

What's the name of that music in the background?

What did you expect from the most long-lived city in the Human History (3000-220 BC) ?

lol most long lived heh? How about athens, greece (c.1250 bce-2018 ce)

theodosis kantas Athens never existed before the sea people . And actually babylon still exist but with another name 5 km near the ancient city due to river changes .

babylon does not exist today. its ruins are next to saddams palace. and i didnt say athens existed before the sea people although there are signs of habitation from the 3rd cent. bce. i just said that athens is a longer lived continuous city than babylon is or ever was.

''Athens Ancient Greek: Ἀθῆναι, Athênai [a.tʰɛ̂ː.nai̯]) is the capital and largest city of Greece. Athens dominates the Attica region and is one of the world's oldest cities, with its recorded history spanning over 3,400 years[4] and its earliest human presence starting somewhere between the 11th and 7th millennium BC''-Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bible has a very false and unholy view about babylon and disgusting abomination false view.

Nice

Thank you

lol I was thinking about it, like the French Maginot line that was supposed to stop the Germans from invading France again oops

ברוך הבא לבית שלי, עכשיו אני הולך לישון

@@mofleh177 The Maginot line didn't work because Belgium opposed it just before the war. It worked in WW1, so why do people think the French just forgot about Belgium when WW2 came around?

@@MasterDeanarius There were no Maginot line in WWI but many lines of trenches after Germany went deep in French territory, the Maginot was built after the war based on their experience. I don't know exactly what happened to the border with Belgium but I read that they thought the terrain is rough and unlikely place to be attacked from plus Germany would have to invade the Netherlands and Belgium which would give them plenty of time to prepare but in any case it failed because it was a costly project that didn't serve its purpose.

@@mofleh177 The Maginot line was based on the frontline in WW1, It was supposed to connect through most of Belgium's rivers. People keep repeating this stupid notion the French didn't expect the Germans to go through Belgium even tho they did in WW1. I'm bad at phrasing it but the maginot line never came to be, it was supposed to be strongest in Belgium where they knew they would come. But Belgium thought they could be neutral in the coming war, so they opposed the Maginot line months before Hitler invaded. That's why Belgium had to capitulate in less than 48 hours and Rommel was free to walk all over the French.

Philistines are canaanites. But Hebrews are Babylon descendants.

Event of Old testament,new are written by Paul and his friends

@@mubzplay the Old Testament affirms the new one

Daniel 2

Except Daniel is so inaccurate and post Nebuchadnezzar just like genesis.

Al-Jumaeyli Al-Qaysi Al-Dawseri الدوسر were still here. Btw check out the church at jubail, Saudi Arabia. It’s a gift from my people, lol

Al-Jumaeyli Al-Qaysi Al-Dawseri الدوسر that is false. And it’s Built. This is just the beginning of the Wiki page “Jubail Church is a 4th-century church building near Jubail, Saudi Arabia, discovered in 1986. It originally belonged to the Assyrian Church of the East, an ancient Nestorian branch of Eastern Christianity in the Middle East.” So you can see that it’s an Assyrian built church.

@Son of Mountain *Kurds are a terrorist state

@Son of Mountain Wtf are you talking about? We werent terrorist either, we just had to survive

@Son of Mountain Jeans?

Rome was not ahead of it's time to be honest. Alexandria in Egypt and Ctesiphon in Iraq were just as advanced and great although a little shorter in size.

That's awesome man, Glad you like them :)

how are you watching videos... running....

Lord Voldemort i mean unless you got google glass or something watching videos will running is stupidly dangerous. Listening perhaps. I listen to quite a few of these videos will walking... just curious.

I found the musice to not be fitting at all

Farhan Tbs any idea what’s the name of this music?

Jason the rock blaha Nebuchadnezzar didn't destroy assyria, his father was the one who destroyed it along with cyaxares. I'm pretty sure assyria as an empire was much greater than babylonia and chaldea combined since they accomplished much more and lasted longer as a military power. Babylonia was a more superior than assyria when it came to culture tho.

@Jason Blaha Assyria was a greater idiots like you have no knowledge of historical events 🤦🏼‍♂️

ברוך הבא לבית שלי, עכשיו אני הולך לישון

Hmmm... interesting question....just off the top of my head it might be that the coast of southern Iraq has been sitting up for thousands of years moving further out to sea, especially the cities of Ur, Uruk Eridu, Larsa, and Lagash were all coastal cities the silting affected their crops more as the coast moved out...the major Egyptian metropolis where further south from the Mediterranean coast Memphis Thebes etc would not be affected by coastal silting or the changes in the courses of the delta rivers to the north. Compared to the Sumerians they had a much more predictable river to deal with that irrigation and new fertile topsoil from the yearly floodings could be more effectively managed... I could be wrong....but that is the off the top of my head hypothesis :)

...and is sorta related in a roundabout way :)

@Son of Mountain well not in a literal sense, LOL. I'm well aware that it's impossible but I mean as regions. The region of Babylon and of Ur. I hope these areas prosper and rise.

@@rezaq5951 ((same as to what I said to mountain boy)) well not in a literal sense, LOL. I'm well aware that it's impossible but I mean as regions. the region of Babylon and of Ur. I hope these areas prosper and rise.

@Son of Mountain I will also never forget their blood. Iraq still has a long way to go. and yes, I agree, Iraq is currently a really shit nation. It's disgusting and has allot of issues. that doesn't mean I should give up on it. It is my home. It is the only place I belong to. Iraq needs all of us to work together. we need to unite and fix our nation. Iraq is nothing without Kurds. also, there are many mixed Kurdish and Arab communities. It's hard to separate them.. (yup, I'm from Dhi Qar) and you? :3

@Son of Mountain then you're lucky because Duhok is very beautiful (well, all of Kurdistan region is ♥) yep, I agree Iran and Turkey don't care about Iraq. but the biggest thing that is destroying Iraq is.. Iraqi society.. it's so disgusting.. especially southern Iraq. it's like daesh.. I don't want to hate Iraqis but sadly this is the truth. maybe I'm just lying to myself.. maybe Iraq will never be perfect.. I wish Arabs in the south can learn from the Kurds in the north. Kurds have a much more beautiful and open-minded society. people live more freely and can dress and be however they want.. *also, it's not my real name :P wishing you all the best bro, stay safe ♥

Noah The Celt I am half from both

Chaldeans are Babylon branched not Sumerian and tooo far from Sumerian.

How are you Sumerian they are extinct. What is your religion and what language do yo speak?

Luis Luis thank you I might do that in the near future

Ofc you don't feel babylonian your old culture was entirely stamped out by the invading arab muslims from the south

Well Alex Y afaik semetic is a language family just like indo european so it doesn't mean they are the same people. Jews and arabs are ''semites'' but you wouldn't ever think of them being similar people or having positive relations with each other. Heck the yugoslav peoples couldn't live together even tough they were all similar people and all south slavs.

Alex Y we aren't the same people and don't have a good relationship

King Wiwuz IV true

We know much more about the akkadian language than the sumerian language, so it might be easier to learn it.

That would be really cool to be able to read either, but I would pick whichever one had more undeciphered tablets and/or total surviving tablets....which I think might be Akkadian because that was used all the way up until Aramaic replaced it. But reading Gilgamesh in its original language would be pretty epic :D I think I read (or saw in a documentary) somewhere that universities, museums or something posted the images of undeciphered tablets so that people could help translate...if you could find something like that would be awesome to be the first person to have read it in thousands of years.

It's a very old film directed by D. W. Griffith (popular/infamous for also filming Birth of a Nation) called "Intolerance: Loves struggle throughout the ages".

It was real leaked footage from 800BC

Intolerance 1916 Probably the most impressive looking silent movie IMO
